My spouse is waiting in Japan for her interview. The problem is she's a Korean citizen. The embassy's website said it would take a lil longer if the beneficiary is a non-japanese national. Anybody have an idea how much longer it takes?

Summer of '04 - Started Talking to Leila on Yahoo Messenger

3/23/06 - Went to Cebu, Philippines to meet Leila & see her graduate. Also proposed during my trip.

4/30/06 - Leila left the Philippines to go back with her dad in Tokyo, Japan.

8/07/06 - NVC Recieves case

8/17/06 - Embassy in Tokyo sends Packet 3 to Leila but she was in Atami

8/22/06 - Leila calls embassy and they tell her what she needs to mail in
